San Antonio Scouts Council Wide Campout and SADRC
2
March 1st, 2025 Topic: Scouts Council Wide Campout & SADRC Date: Saturday, March 1st, 2025 Hello, SADRC will be operating from the McGimsey Scout Park located in San Antonio as a part of the Scouts Council Wide Campout (CWC). Please note this park is not open to the public. The following amateurs will be on Texas SADRC, Texas Nexus, as well as HF. John Douglas - W5NZK Randy Thomas - K7RHT Doug Svitchan - N8IQT For VHF/UHF we will be operating under the club call sign of WS5DRC. MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH A SCOUT We will start the event around 9AM on Texas SADRC. The Scouts need to make several radio contacts as a part of this event. You will hear us operating under the call sign of WS5DRC (our club call) during this event. When you make a contact with a Scout, you are making a lifelong impression on that Scout. Many who later earn their Technician or higher-class amateur radio license. Many parents ask us where is all the big tube equipment? Their perception is still that we have not evolved from the 1970's. This is a great opportunity to showcase what amateur radio is all about and make an impact to the community! We look forward to hearing from you on the air tomorrow to support our network and the SCOUTS. 73 Doug N8IQT Texas SADRC Fusion (C4FM) Repeater Network: 146.780 N.

Mobile Installation Question
18
Greetings Everyone, Introductions first I think: Josh Beck: KJ5KBW I am a high school cybersecurity certification instructor with NEISD. (Lot's of San Antonio jobs high school students can qualify for with the right credentials.) My question: I'm new to Ham Radio and also a new member. So, newbie stuff. I'm going to go ahead and do a mobile installation in the next few weeks and the firewall access between my engine compartment and passenger cab is a bit difficult to access. Although I might decide to go after it some weekend myself, is there a recommended shop that would do a straightforward wiring job? I just need to get two 10-gauge wires (red and black) routed from the engine to the cab. (The crimping and connections I'm sure I can handle) I figure if anyone in San Antonio would have recommendations about good shops like that, it would be SADRC. Much appreciated and feel free to give me a call out on the air. Josh Beck KJ5KBW
